This is one of the signs found in a Country Park on my walk abouts a couple of days ago. Some of the other Directional Signs I am able to convince myself are acceptable, but this one I am not 100% sure. There is a part of me that says “This is just another sign”, but there is a part of me that says “This is in the park and is park specific”. There are other thoughts, but need convincing either way.
Either you decide to go in that direction to head towards a car park or go in any other direction and continue on wherever you are. It is a decision point. Very important for exploration.
I would consider this a direction sign. It’s not a trail marker. It’s simply saying where the carpark is. Remember with trail markers it’s about the trail.

Is there a distinction between a Directional Sign in a park and on a public highway / path for the purposes of Wayfarer?
Notice how it mentions “city”. OP’s matter is within a smaller designated area, like a trail marker.
Its 1 example.

IMO: This is just a direction sign.
It gives just 1 direction, the car park.
Stating “or go in any other direction” could be said about any sign.
It could be possible to accept with evidence to back up that this is part of a trail. Is there any such evidence? Are all the sign’s along the trail marked with similar signs (without the trail name)?
The function of the object is key in my view.
In the same way it doesn’t matter if a trail marker is in the countryside or on a street the the function is the same.

Directional sign, not a trail marker (inexplicably a lot of directional signs seem to get accepted).
A trail marker works because it is on the trail it represents, in this example there is no “car park trail” it’s just pointing somewhere.
